Figures of merit are numerical parameters that help to characterize the performance of a
device or a system relative to alternative ones. In engineering, they are often defined for …

An overview is given of chemometrics as it can be applied to spectroscopic and other
multivariate data. Major chemometrics and data analysis techniques are described. An …

This book is an introduction to the field of multi-way analysis for chemists and
chemometricians. Its emphasis is on the ideas behind the method and its pratical …

This paper gives an introduction to multivariate calibration from a chemometrics perspective
and reviews the various proposals to generalize the well-established univariate …

This contribution introduces Elastic Component Regression (ECR) as an explorative data
analysis method that utilizes a tuning parameter α∈[0, 1] to supervise the X-matrix …

This study investigated the relation between vegetation reflectance and elevated
concentrations of the metals Ni, Cd, Cu, Zn and Pb in river floodplain soils. High-resolution …

Investigations have shown that visible-near-infrared (VNIR) spectroscopy can accurately
determine soil properties under laboratory conditions. In situ assessment of soil properties is …

The field of analytical chemistry has been significantly advanced by the availability of state-
of-the-art instrumentation, allowing for the development of novel applications in this field …

Infrared (IR) spectroscopic techniques combined with multivariate calibration (MVC)
methods are promising for on-line monitoring. In a previous article [M. Zeaiter, M. Roger, V …

Visible (vis), near infrared (NIR) and mid infrared (mid-IR) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
(DRS) coupled with partial least squares regression (PLSR) are increasingly being used in …
